In what contexts, other than AI, might this approach apply?

Teaching children? It strikes me that we sometimes want our kids to make a decision, or announce a decision, so that we can see what their decision would be.

Government prosecutions? It strikes me that the trend of 99%+ of cases being decided by way of a plea deal obscures both the evidence of wrongdoing and the method for judging it wrong.
